Table of Contents
This bakery junk journal kit brings the whole shop to your table: a window full of loaves, a pastry case of eclairs and macarons, cakes on stands and a flour dusted counter in the quiet of early morning. There are nineteen full scenes, four seamless backgrounds and four lined writing pages, enough to fill a whole journal with warm bread and sugared treats without repeating a single picture.
Print the set on matte cardstock so the watercolor washes stay crisp instead of soaking through, and set your printer to its best or photo quality for true color. A plain home printer handles this fine; trim the edges with scissors or a paper cutter before you glue, tuck or stitch the pages into your journal.
Using these images: free for personal projects such as printing, coloring, cards, journals and gifts. Handmade items that include them may be sold up to 30 pieces per design. More than that is commercial use and is not permitted, and neither is selling or sharing the images themselves or passing them off as your own. Please ask before any other use.
Bakery Front and Door
Loaves, croissants and a striped awning fill the window of a corner bakery just as the shop opens for the morning.
Tuck a real bakery receipt, a napkin or a folded note about a favorite pastry shop into the corner of this page before you glue it in.
The glass case holds eclairs, fruit tarts and a row of macarons, so there is plenty of room around the edges for small mementoes without crowding the treats themselves.
Pair this page with the pastel macarons background from this set, using the pattern as a pocket lining tucked just behind the counter scene.
Dough, a rolling pin and a bowl of eggs sit under a light dusting of flour, with a wooden spoon and a small sack of flour painted close by.
Baguettes rest in a basket beside the bakery door, with flower pots and a painted step setting the scene for an early delivery.
Cakes and Cupcakes
The usual mistake with a cake page like this is leaving it too plain, so add a painted plate, a few crumbs or a second small berry dish to round out the table.
A layer cake sits on its stand with fresh berries piled on top and a cake server resting beside it, ready for the first slice.
Cinnamon rolls cool on a wire rack, their icing still soft, with a spoon of glaze and a scatter of cinnamon sticks painted close by.
If you only have five minutes, glue this page in as is: the shelf of round loaves and its wicker basket already read as a finished shop scene with nothing more needed.
Which page would you choose to take home today, and what would you write to go with it.
Baking in Progress
A good place for a baking day list or a short recipe note, since the table already holds mixing bowls, a whisk and a jar of sugar waiting to be used.
Place this page across from the flour dusted counter earlier in the set so the two baking scenes sit side by side as one working kitchen spread.
A cup of coffee and a flaky croissant sit on a small cafe table, with a folded newspaper and a spoon resting just beside the saucer.
Keep a spatula and oven mitt painted beside the tray, then tea-stain the lower edge of the page lightly to echo the golden edges of a just-baked batch.
A brick oven glows gently as loaves rest on a long wooden peel, with embers and a stack of split wood painted in the shadows nearby.
Cafe Corners
This page suits a journal made as a gift for someone who loves flowers as much as sweets, since the cupcakes share the stand with a small vase of roses.
A bakery delivery bicycle leans against a wall, its front basket piled with bread, ready for the first morning round through the neighborhood.
Try folding the top edge of this page down into a small flap, so the gingham curtain seems to swing open over the cooling pies beneath.
Fruit pies rest on the windowsill in the morning air, their crusts golden, with a small bird or a sprig of herbs painted just outside the glass.
A wooden bread board holds a sliced loaf, with butter in a dish and a small jar of jam set beside the knife.
Special Occasion Treats
For a journal kept as a wedding keepsake, this cake page sits well near the front, decorated with sugar flowers down each tier and a cake topper at the crown.
Sprinkled donuts fill a basket set on a pastel counter, with a small jug of glaze and a dusting of sugar scattered close by.
Place this storefront as the closing scene of a spread, with a quiet bench out front and pastel walls that soften the whole page into a gentle last stop in the set.
Background Papers
Small croissants and baguettes repeat edge to edge in this soft pattern. Use it under a photo of a kitchen table, as a pocket lining for recipe cards, or as a journal cover in the same cream and brown palette as the rest of the set.
Cupcakes and cherries scatter across this pattern in a light, even rhythm. Good under a birthday photo, as the lining for a treat pocket, or as endpapers for the whole journal.
Rows of pastel macarons fill this sheet from corner to corner. Place it behind a pastry case photo, use it to line a flap pocket, or cut it down for a small envelope tucked into the journal.
Round loaves and slender wheat stalks repeat together across this paper. It works well under a bread board photo, as a cover wrap, or lining the inside of a journal pocket.
Lined Writing Pages
Loaves of bread line the border of this page around faint ruled lines. Write a favorite bread recipe, a shopping list for the next baking day, or a note about the smell of fresh bread in the morning.
A cupcake spray sits in one corner of this lined page, leaving the ruled lines free for a birthday message, a gift list, or a short letter to read again next year.
A thin frame of pastry case treats runs around the edge of this page. Use the lines inside for a cafe order, a list of favorite pastries, or notes from a morning spent baking.
A band of croissants and a small rolling pin runs down one side of this page, leaving the ruled lines open for a menu, a baking day plan, or a letter to a future self about a favorite kitchen.
What to Do Next
Print the full set, trim each page to size and start layering them into your journal with the bakery window and storefront scenes near the front, the backgrounds for pockets and covers, and the lined pages wherever you want to stop and write.
Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for a bakery junk journal kit like this one?
Matte cardstock around 65 to 110 lb works best, since it holds the watercolor washes crisply without letting ink show through the back. Plain printer paper is lighter and fine for practice pages, but it wrinkles more easily once glued.
What printer settings give the best color for these pages?
Set the printer to its highest or photo quality setting with the paper type matched to cardstock if that option exists. This keeps the pastel pinks and creams accurate instead of washed out on a standard draft setting.
What size should the pages be printed at?
Standard US letter or A4 works for most journals and fits a typical home printer without extra setup. Trim the pages down with scissors or a paper cutter afterward to fit a smaller handmade journal if needed.
What glue or tools work best for assembling the pages?
A glue stick keeps pages flat without wrinkling, while a thin layer of double sided tape suits pockets and flaps that need to stay crisp. Small scissors or a craft knife make trimming the edges much easier.
Can these pages be colored in or altered by hand?
Yes, the pages print in full color but still take added touches well, such as colored pencil shading, a wash of tea staining along the edges, or stamped words layered on top once the glue has dried.
